As it was almost noon, she saw the soldiers eating instant noodles. Bearing great grief, Chen Xingyan immediately killed two chickens, caught a few fish, and took a few pieces of cured ham found in the ruins. She set up a temporary kitchen in the courtyard to prepare lunch for the soldiers. "At first, the political commissar of the troops firmly refused to eat, citing their discipline. I knelt down before them, only then did they agree!" said Chen Xingyan. Her eyes had run out of tears. The reason why she cooked a meal for the soldiers who helped her was simple: the soldiers worked too hard, so she just wanted to show her gratitude. This simple rural woman, after seeing countless victims rushing over, immediately got busy, adding cutlery for these victims, and even cordially invited reporters to have dinner with them.
